Hippeastrum (commonly known as Amaryllis) are popular for

their indoor holiday color and are often given as gifts from

October through January. They are easy to grow and are

impressive ﬂowers. Their large blossoms can measure up

to 8” across. We only ship one large blooming bulb size to

ensure well-proportioned plants, which are guaranteed to

produce large, vibrant blooms for you. As bulbs are essentially

storage mechanisms, they already contain everything needed

to produce ﬂowers. They are tropical and subtropical. All you

will need to do is plant them and water. But best of all, they

can be induced to re-bloom indoors for years to come.

About This Variety: Amaryllis Santiago is a real gem! It is not only fragrant (like black currants) , it also displays a spectacular

color combination. Its white and ruby red color strokes, with its graceful blossoms and green center, make it a cheerful alternative

and a true eye-catching variety. While its blossoms are somewhat smaller then other Amaryllis’, it is a striking, relatively new

variety. Most bulbs will produce two stalks, with four ﬂowers per stalk.

Growing Instructions: Hippeastrum (Amaryllis) is a tender bulb and needs to be planted in pots indoors throughout most

of North America. In USDA zones 9-12, they can actually be planted outside, as long as they are protected during freezing

temperatures. Plant them outside with the neck sticking out of the ground, water, fertilizing after the leaves appear and repeating

several times in spring. Then, let nature take its course. To grow indoors as a house plant proceed as follows: Select a 6-8”

container of your choice, then ﬁll about half the pot with medium. Set the bulb atop the soil, ﬁlling in with soil around the bulb

to maintain its position. About the top third of the bulb should be left exposed above the soil level, leaving room in the pot for

watering. Amaryllis bulbs like room temperatures and exposure to sunshine will keep them shorter. As the ﬂower stalk grows

towards the light, rotate the pot frequently to prevent toppling. Sit back and enjoy!

Care Tip: Some gardeners treat their Amaryllis as annuals and simply toss them after ﬂowering. However, they are fairly easily

induced to re-ﬂower next year. To re-grow follow these steps: After ﬂowering, cut off the ﬂower stalk just above the neck of the

bulb, but be sure to leave the foliage, as it will play a critical role in rebuilding the bulb and prepare it for future blooming. Place

the pot in a sunny window, and only water when the soil is dry. Fertilize regularly. After danger of frost, place pot outside until fall,

when frost kills the leaves off. Then, having removed the foliage, let the potted bulb rest by storing it in a cool, dry place for 2.5

months. Do not water it. Thereafter, restart the process as stated above.
